Ghost Signs 1

from $150.00

New York Print: Vintage Advertising ‘ghost signs’ on a building in Manhattan

Works beautifully as a set with ‘Ghost Sign 2’

Ghost signs are old, hand-painted advertisements on the sides of buildings, typically from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. These faded signs, also called faded ads, were once common and have survived due to the longevity of the paint and the practice of later painting over them, which protected them from the elements. They serve as a historical record of businesses and consumer culture.

Printed to order in Auckland, New Zealand.

Printed on premium, fine art paper. This matte finish paper is produced in a cold press method and made from 340gsm 100% cotton that is acid, lignin and chlorine free for excellent durability and stability. 

Please allow 10-15 days for shipping.

Custom sizes, framing and international shipping are available on enquiry.

Please note: colours on the physical print may differ slightly from your screen due to different monitor settings.
